sounds of trauma

Most of us have heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. The same can be said about a single sound. Musician/Author Chad Sugg states “My body is an ugly masterpiece that lives off the beauty of sound.” We often take sound for granted because it is always there and we have become accustomed to it’s constant tune. For those of us who have had the unfortunate experience of going through trauma in which sound played a huge role in, triggers can happen at anytime at any place. The David Lynch Foundation made a short video ad entitled “Sounds of Trauma” which takes actual war footage and combines it with sounds you might hear everyday and intertwines them to show you how easy it is for war trauma victims to be triggered by PTSD.
